DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0015] The present disclosure reveals a bag resealing device 1 for use with prepackaged bags 2 such as but not limited to bags containing chips, vegetables, meets, fruits, cotton balls, etc., to prevent spillage and aid in food preservation. The bag resealing device 1 comprises a front sheet 3, a back sheet 4, a left edge 5, a right edge 6, a top edge 7, a bottom edge 8, and an interior 9. The left edge 5 of the front sheet 3 and the left edge 5 of the back sheet 4 are sealed together. The right edge 6 of the front sheet 3 and the right edge 6 of the back sheet 4 are sealed together. In the area of the top edge 7 is a resealable mechanism 10 such as a zipper seal or press seal.

[0016] In the first embodiment of the bag resealing device 1, the resealable mechanism 10 is positioned along the top edge 7 of the front sheet 3 and the top edge 7 of the back sheet 4, such that the bag resealing device 1 can be operated to allow the bag resealing device 1 to be opened and closed.

[0017] In the second embodiment 12 of the bag resealing device 1, the resealable mechanism 10 is located in the front sheet 3 in the area of the top edge 7 such that the resealable mechanism 10 can be operated to allow the bag resealing device 1 to be opened and closed. In this embodiment the top edge 7 of the front sheet 3 and the top edge 7 of the back sheet 4 are sealed together.

[0018] The bag resealing device further comprises an adhesive 13 and an adhesive covering 14. The adhesive 13 is located on the interior 9 of the front sheet 3 in the area of the bottom edge 8 and on the interior 9 of the back sheet 4 in the area of the bottom edge 8, wherein the adhesive 13 on the front sheet 3 and the adhesive 13 on the back 4 sheet are co-located so as to adhere to each other. The adhesive covering 14 is positioned over the adhesive 13 to prevent the adhesive 13 on the front sheet 3 and the adhesive 13 on the back sheet 4 from adhering to each other when the bag resealing device 1 is not in use.

[0019] The adhesive 13, may either be such that the adhesive 13 on the front sheet 3 and the adhesive 13 on the back sheet 4 adheres in such a fashion that the adhesive 13 cannot be removed from that to which is adheres without damaging the bag resealing device 1 or the adhesive 13 on the front sheet 3 and the adhesive 13 on the back sheet 4 adheres in such a fashion that the adhesive 13 can be separated from that to which it is adhered to, which allows the bag resealing device 1 to be moved from one resealed bag to another.
